by Parfums Dusita
Oudh Infini by Parfums Dusita is a profoundly polarizing, animalic oud fragrance that defies conventional perfume expectations. It begins with a powerful, fecal blast of Laotian oud and civet, described by many as deeply skanky, barnyard-like, and overwhelming—so much so that some initially recoil and wash it off. Yet after this intense opening, it transforms into a rich, layered composition where a dark, velvety rose, sweet orange blossom, and powdery musk emerge, woven with Mysore sandalwood and benzoin, creating a deeply sensual, elegant, and opulent drydown. The fragrance is not a traditional rose-oud blend—it centers on a potent, animalic core that balances the floral sweetness, giving it a uniquely complex, artful character. Performance is exceptional: the longevity is very long, and projection is moderate to strong, enhancing its immersive, unforgettable experience. While the opening demands patience and may repel those unacquainted with animalic fragrances, the transformation into something sublime justifies its reputation as a masterwork among niche ouds. It is best suited for adventurous tastes, particularly those who appreciate vintage oriental styles, deep complexity, and the emotional depth of olfactory art.
